I am very excited that today I just sent 12 paintings to a wonderful gallery on Long Island. I have had a great deal of success donating art to museums, selling at auction houses, but this is the first Gallery and art Consultant that is accepting some of the paintings. More later on any resulting plans.

Two paintings, long rolled up and not seen. They were rolled up when I moved them to the current storage area, as they were too big to get up a staircase. They are both around 5' x 6'. I have just had them stretched and cleaned.

This painting by Harold Anchel that he entitled “Horizon”, was delivered today to The Art Students League who is accepting it into their permanent collection. Harold studied at the League in 1935 with George Grosz before he entered the Lithography project of the WPA. And from 1951-1955 when he studied again with George Grosz and also Morris Kantor and Vaclav Vytlacil becoming an abstract expressionist painter of the New York School along with some of his classmates.

The painting will be exhibited at the League as part of a new acquisition show later this spring.
